Devil May Cry 5 Review

The Devil May Cry series is known for its unique brand of stylish combat, snarky heroes, and challenging nature. Devil May Cry 5 brings back Nero from 2008’s DMC4. It resumes the storyline set up in that game, rather than the continuity introduced with the reboot DmC: Devil May Cry in 2013. This means Nero brings a few friends along for the ride. The result is an absolutely explosive and exciting time that fans of the genre will no doubt appreciate.

Story

Devil May Cry 5’s story kicks off shortly after Devil May Cry 4 ended. A young man named “V” shows up at the Devil May Cry office. He asks demon hunter Dante for help ending various demon attacks around the world. Dante isn’t too thrilled with the assignment, but takes him up on the presumably well-paying job anyway.

He’s in for a rude awakening, as there’s more than just a demon problem to combat. A massively powerful demon named Urizen has got his eyes on claiming the world for his own. Demon hunters Nero and Dante must work together along with V to figure out a way to stop Urizen.

Of course, there are more than a few surprises along the way to thrill fans (especially one that has to do with V’s mysterious origins). The narrative wraps up the many open-ended questions of the Devil May Cry saga in some very interesting ways.
